Mastering Consistency with a Daily Text Check In Partner
Great point, Lass. We keep it to under 3 texts. "Going now," "Done (photo)," and maybe a quick "Nice job!" from the other person. Efficiency is everything.
Does anyone use apps instead of SMS? WhatsApp is usually better for the international folks to avoid charges.
WhatsApp or Telegram for sure. Group chats are also an option if you want to have 3-4 people holding each other up.
I prefer one-on-one. In a group, it's too easy to hide. If you don't post, people assume someone else will check on you. One-on-one, there's nowhere to run.
"Nowhere to run"—I love it. That's exactly what I need. No more "I'll just go tomorrow" excuses.
It really changes your identity. You start seeing yourself as the person who *has* to send that text, which means you're the person who *does* the work.
Identity shift is the holy grail of fitness. Well said, Dan.
MapleLeafFan and I are officially synced up as of this morning! Sent my first 5 AM text. It felt good to have someone waiting on me.
Love seeing this happen in real time. Good luck to you both!
Consistency is king. Keep at it, everyone.
